I . 4 "r - - - , - : Christian IV, King f Denmark had lost his queen iy death. , and thpugh still in thei prime of life, being but thirty-five years jof age, no" persuasions conld induce nim to share bis now solitary throne "with a new companion. 4It is' true be bad, in his long union with Anna Catherine of Brandeburg, learned to know domest ic happiness in its full extent, and a desolate void jin his palacr,! but still "more in bis hearty reminded bim'foo painfully of the days when the love of the early departed, and lier virtues, stilljblessed his life, j But though his naturally firm and un yielding mind was sometimes overcome by such reminiscences, he still refused to listen to any .'proposals 'for a second mar riage. and even rejected the earnest en treaties of i his two sisters; the Electress of Saxony, add the Duchessof Brunswick, who Jiad come to Denmark to comfori him and openly expressed- their desire to see him again blessed with .a queen such as he had lost. " V - Btit tbe!heart cannot always wear ibe cold jshiela of reason yhieh protects it a gainjst Cupid's arrowis, and even heroes have) their weak side. It happened in the yearj 1615; that. the King was travelling through Jutland, and stopped at a country village for refreshment and repose. While bis servants were preparing the meal, he seated himself at a writing table, in order to transact some important. business. He soon' became so absorbed that he-did not hearl a slight Woise behind him, till a young girl Stepped forward, . with an aspect !as noble as it was modest, and kneel ing )e forelhim, presented a petition. She was riot beautiful, but the fire of youth in her eye. the smile : of health 6n her lips," were as attractive as regula'rTt;atures, and the singular grace of her'motions surprised the King. He ordered the lovely maiden to rise land inform hirn pf the contents of the paper, which he still held unopened in his band, but with a benevolent kindness which, inspired hope. - ft ! " one announced herseli as Christiana Mudk; daughter of Ludwig Munk, who had lately died in poverty on a small es tate in Jutland. He had formerly occu pied an important post at Dronthiem, but had been tried for-serious ofTcnces. and de prived of his office. He had with much difficulty rnaintained his family by culti vating a farm ; but now, deprived uf their last! support thev saw themselves exposed, without the royal favor, to extreme want. In this "grle'vous situatioririhe' report of the King being in the. neighborhood, had ap peared to Christina a sign from above, and she turned to him, she said, with the same filial confidence with1 which she made known herwants in prayer to hea ved.' : . : . " . The King, whose faithful memory re called the slightest acts "of justice,' remerii berpd the name of Ludwig Munk, and did not' forget that the cunning with which he had r hdeavored to defend himself against undoubted proofs of i guilt,; had tendered his dismission fronTofiice a milder punish ment than he deserved. You do wrong,' he said, thus to remind me of your fath er's guilt; and I am; surjisedhatryour boldn?ss ventures so far as to ask'!a favor ' fori his family." -f-' - " '"" : -: ' ' Whether my father was guilty 1 know rioi said!
